Dan didn"t care about those perspectives. He cared about the opportunities they had opened up. In the dungeon, he discovered two brilliant possibilities.

He couldn"t keep it from his allies. He asked Nick to take the time to tell him about the new animals the scouts had met. It was a signal that Dan wanted to have a private conversation.

Nick came to the library and started talking about a new kind of monster.

It was the Forest Spirit. It"s a very dangerous creature! It was almost ethereal. It was hard to kill him if he stood still and touched his feet on the ground. But when the spirit began to move, it took off and at that moment it could be hit with a strong blow from a conventional weapon. The hunters were not badly hurt, they had swords, which they reinforced with rare stones. Meeting Banshee taught the clan a lot. The hunters were ready for possible trouble. The spirit sent a curse on the players. Nightmares and bad memories began to arise in the player"s mind. Nick sat angry and very angry when he spoke about meeting this monster.

"He"s also taking his life slowly! He"s like a mosquito! Quietly sucks the life out of you, and you just stand there and see all the horror from your past life. We"re lucky. It was just the two of us and John knew right away that this thing had taken me, prisoner. John killed it quickly. The spirit was only 15 levels. But there was nothing I could do myself! I saw the horrors!"

Nick kept quiet, then smiled sadly and said:

"With your spirit, you have no need to be afraid. This game is dangerous. She"s giving a lot. But I think we"re making one important mistake. You have to develop your character equally in this game. I now understand the importance of intelligence and spirit. You can"t be a one-sided warrior, you can"t be a trickster or a smarta.s.s. We all pay no attention to the spirit except you. It can cause a lot of trouble. We are at the very beginning of the game. Who knows what powers monsters will meet us in the future?"

"That"s what two specialties are for. You can find something that will enhance your spirit or intelligence. Alchemy! This is definitely not about dexterity or strength. And a good alchemist of your own can"t hurt us. I got the new ingredients. Nick, I want to tell you about my first day at the cursed mine. It"s a dungeon. There are skeletons, zombies and spiders. From spiders, I got the Spider Poison trophy. Here, take this and do an a.s.sessment in town. Written that this is an ingredient.

But the important thing is that this mine can be cleared of undead and we can make money. We need to consult with Turin. He"s a dwarf, he has connections, and he"s our man... I mean, he"s our dwarf.

And I"ll say more, he"s already figured out our intrigues and said he won"t leave us. He"s going to stay in the castle. He"s not going to town."

"I knew it! I saw the look in his eyes. That dwarf is not to be trusted. But you can deal with him. We need him. Did you have a good experience with mine? Did you meet any cursed artifacts or cursed monsters? Why is the mine called a cursed mine?"

"Wait, Nick, too many questions! Turin doesn"t trust you much either. But he thanks me for taking revenge for killing his daughter. The dwarf is a reliable partner. There aren"t many monsters in the mine. But enough, I raised my cat"s level one. No cursed objects or monsters. If you"d like to join me, I"d be happy to have your company. There"s a temporary anchor point. Tell me, my dexterous and cunning friend, how many new binding points have you found with John?"

Nick was surprised to see the Inquisitor. And he answered honestly:

"Not one. A new temporary rebirth point. That"s dangerous news. We met a Beast in the cemetery. Which was only killed by a big fire blast and your work as inquisitor? Dan, be careful! Even next to the werewolf"s lair, we weren"t offered a rebirth point, but it was hot."

Dan froze. He didn"t even think about it! Indeed, if the game offers a temporary rebirth point, it hints at the danger of the dungeon. It"s a direct test to warn you that the player is going to die! He shuddered and frowned. Then he confessed:

"It"s dark in the tunnel. But I didn"t feel any danger. There were only ordinary monsters up to level 20. Thank you, Nick. I"ll be careful. But I have a cat to develop. I"d even be glad to meet some spiders that have been reborn tomorrow. Like those skeletons that were reborn in the castle in the beginning."

"Be careful, Dan. I"m sorry, but we have a lot to do right now. John and I have to look at our entire area of responsibility. Our ownership of the Preceptorium depends on it. We don"t need any surprises. It is a few square miles. We"ve received a great inheritance as a gift. I really hate that you"re always alone. I feel good in your company and I don"t feel any negative reaction to the Inquisitor. Maybe it"s because I was a cop. I met different people and most of them were nasty b.a.s.t.a.r.ds."

"Thank you, Nick, I"ll be careful. You told me right about danger. You"re wrong about being alone, I have company, and it"s easier with a cat."

This morning, Dan realized he had to run away to the mine fast. The players" eyes burned with an unhealthy shine, everybody was already packed, and everybody couldn"t wait to hit the road. People couldn"t even wait one day. The caravan to Dor was on the road tomorrow.

Dan replenished his food supply and set out on the road for a new adventure.

He didn"t see any revived monsters in the mine. That didn"t upset him. He didn"t know what size the mine was. He walked along the first branch and reached the end. Here, the tunnel walls clearly indicated it was a mine. There were traces of pickling on the walls, and there were many pieces of stone under his feet. And the tunnel itself became smaller, now it became a narrow corridor, which was dug in the rock of the mountain.

Dan went back to the beginning of his journey and went looking for new monsters.

One day, he was able to take level 19. p.u.s.s.y was on level 8. No particular danger and no d.a.m.n objects were found by the Inquisitor.

In the evening, he had dinner alone. He was already used to eating in the library. He wasn"t disturbed by the antic.i.p.ation and emotion of the players.

In the morning, everything was calm. The clan suddenly showed itself as a clan of monster hunters. Everyone was calm and prepared for the fact that ahead is not an easy walk, but a dangerous road. There were monster attacks and possible deaths ahead. In the evening, Michael and Alexander strictly called for calm and concentration. Players built a column and went to the village.

Dan waved goodbye to them and went to the mine.

Nick promised to come back after five days. He decided that three days would be enough for him to gather information and start his trading activity for the first time in town. The question of the Inquisitor was a special subject. Nick promised to work in that direction.

Dan was killing monsters in a mine. He didn"t count skeletons or spiders.

Monsters didn"t go in groups. There was enough distance between enemies for the Inquisitor to deal with them quickly and calmly. He used "Autodafe" and destroyed another monster in several blows. Dan reached the end of the second branch and went to the next one. This could have been the last branch of the mine. On the map, he saw that the open and clean tunnel pa.s.sages were like a trident. The main pa.s.sageway and three moves to the side. But ahead, in the right aisle, new branches could appear.

Dan smiled and went into battle.

He was never killed! The monsters were upsetting him by gradually ruining his armor!

Dan found that carrying 122 pounds wasn"t enough for a single hunter. He couldn"t overload himself!

Dan was collecting all the money. He was collecting spider poison. He collected daggers and swords. He wouldn"t pay attention to ordinary armor. They were too heavy.

Before this trek, he completely unloaded his inventory and put a stock of money and trophies in his personal chest in the castle.

There were no special valuable trophies. But weapons were more valuable than armor. And swords and daggers weighed less. Dan had no regrets for the heavy armor left on the ground, new trophies ahead!

He killed the last monster in the cursed mine! He knew it right away because he saw the message:

*

[Congratulations! You have completely cleared the "Cursed Mine" location from monsters.

You get 50 points of Glory.

For pa.s.sing the location type Dungeon in Solo mode, you get the Achievement "Dungeon Explorer" and 7000 points of experience.

Luck +1.

Attention! You cannot become an owner of the " Cursed Mine" and start its exploitation.

Warning! You have detected the entrance to the "Vampire Grave" location. Location type: the dungeon.

Would you like to visit the "Vampire Grave" location? Yes/No]

*

Dan sat down on the tunnel floor and thought. Then he wanted to know more about a new achievement. The explanation made him happy.

*

Achievement: "Dungeon Explorer" 1 [Pa.s.sive]. You get more experience and trophies when exploring dungeon type locations. Number of experiences and trophies *1.1 [Pa.s.sive]

*

Dan realized that the achievement was shady at the moment, the increase in experience and trophies was minimal. But there was an opportunity to increase bonuses.

The increase in luck pleased him a lot more. Luck wouldn"t hurt him. He chose a road too dangerous in this world.

Dan was eating bread and meat, drinking clean water from the river and thinking.

Going back to the castle or looking at a new location?

He warned the dwarf that he was working to clear the mine. Turin was interested in the Inquisitor"s new adventure. He was a little upset that the mine was poor. Copper and iron are good, but silver would be much better.

Dan has promised to study attentively all notes of ancient miners and to bring gnome interesting finds if will meet on the way.

One such find was kept in the inquisitor"s inventory. He has found a rather interesting record on a wall that in mine it is possible to extract ore by name "Adrand".

Dan found one strange piece of ore. It was the size of a fist, the stone was black and red veins were running through it. It was a very unusual piece, and Dan knew right away that this unknown rock would definitely interest the dwarf.

It was three hours to the castle. It was annoying to the player. He stroked the pet over the head:

"Growing big and fast, p.u.s.s.y. I hope you let me ride on your back."

The cat snorted and her eyes widened. She already had big eyes, but now she looked very unusual.

"Don"t worry! I"m not heavy! I"m not going to burden you. Sometimes, in case of danger, in the most important case! You"re faster than me, so I hope you"ll help me."

The cat narrowed its eyes and looked suspiciously at its master. Of course she"s faster than him! And she"ll be even faster! But she didn"t like the idea of driving that stupid master on her back. She turned away from him and punched him with her tail.

Dan got back on his feet. He decided to look at the new location. For a little while. Just to look at that monster that guards the start of the new dungeon.

In case of danger, he"ll go back to the castle and wait for the scouts to accompany him through the dungeon.

On the stone wall, a green light was flickering. It looked like a portal.

Dan pulled his pet away and went to the portal.

And he agreed to visit the new location.

He didn"t feel any tremors, he didn"t have to walk right into the wall.

He just appeared in an unknown location.

And he was trapped!

There was a message in front of his eyes. Dan read it and sat down on the stone floor of the tunnel.

It was the beginning of the end.

*

[Attention! "Vampire Grave" location detected. Location type: Dungeon.

Attention! You can"t leave the location until it"s completely gone.

All revival points are inaccessible.

Attention! A temporary rebirth point has been detected. Do you wish to make a binding? Yes/No]

*

Dan immediately opened up character status. The names of the rebirth points became cloudy, they seemed to have disappeared from the field.

He immediately confirmed his desire to make a binding to the temporary rebirth point.

Die forever? No! Not again.

Then he thought and called the pet. Dan looked at the cat with a guilty expression on his face and said:

"I made a mistake, p.u.s.s.y. We"re in danger. Stay where you are! Don"t run forward! There"s enough light and I"ll look carefully at what"s ahead of us."

The cat had a nasty snort. She sat down and turned her face against the wall.

"You make me happy, Dan. Draugr was boring. Do you know who vampires are? I have a great skill for fighting vampires. Would you like to learn a new skill to fight unclean forces?"

Tarrok"s cheerful voice p.i.s.sed off the Inquisitor.

"I will do without a new skill. And all I have to do is take one look at the vampire. To learn all his secrets! Not all of them, but his fighting ability will be enough for me."

"To battle, Inquisitor. You just don"t know what you"re up against."

"Now I do," said Dan and took a step through the tunnel.

The game showed him his abilities again. This tunnel was different from a simple tunnel cut down in the depths of a mountain.

This tunnel seemed like an ordinary corridor in a stone building. The walls were plain. The walls were lighted up. They were metal bowls in which b.a.l.l.s of magical light were shining. Dan didn"t know what kind of spells they were, he only cared that there was enough light. He didn"t have to pull out a torch, so he could hold the sword with both hands.

Dan walked a few steps down the short corridor, and he noticed the first enemies. He immediately took a step back to the safe area.

The situation looked dangerous. The corridor went into the big hall. Skeletons were walking around this hall. There were a lot of skeletons! They even joined in small groups.

They were level 13 skeletons. But they were not simple. All the skeletons were armed. For the first time, Dan saw the whole set of undead warriors. He saw skeletons with spears, skeletons with bows. He even saw skeletons of scouts! Dan sat down and started reading descriptions of the undead. He felt terrible.

There were hundreds of enemies there. He didn"t have an enemy counter. But there was a terrifying movement of bones in his eyes.

If he drew attention to himself, he"d be torn. Very soon, his armor would lose all its durability. Then he"ll be finished.

The skill of "Autodafe" will help him. But only at the very beginning. Then the Inquisitor will have to enter the hall, he"ll move away from the entrance to the safe corridor.

"Autodafe" skill wasn"t a safe way to be with the enemy one-on-one. Yes, Dan deprived the enemy of the opportunity to leave the Court area. But any other creature would be free to join their confrontation!

The skeletons of the scouts had a special ability. They could detect the presence of a live enemy at long range. They could use the Invisibility! They were real a.s.sa.s.sin skeletons.

"Sorry, p.u.s.s.y, but I don"t even know what to do with you. I just don"t know what"s going to happen to you. If I get killed," he smiled sadly. "If I get killed and you"re alone, run to this place! I won"t leave you, I"ll be back."

The cat nodded her head.

Dan got scared. It"s never shown such sensibility before. Maybe p.u.s.s.y can talk. She just keeps quiet and doesn"t waste words talking to a fool like him.

Dan went back to the point of rebirth and started pulling all the trophies out of his inventory. What kind of trophies? Now he"s going to need all his speed, dexterity and strength. He didn"t want to increase his fatigue.

He didn"t have a plan to get through the entire hall. Dan decided to take his time. He"s going to start challenging skeletons to fight one at a time. And he"ll be sure to pay special attention to the a.s.sa.s.sins.

The more he kills the a.s.sa.s.sins and the Archers. The more chance he has of getting through this room.

Behind this hall will be the next one. Dan had no doubt about that.

The Inquisitor walked to the entrance of the Skeleton Hall. He chose the sight of the a.s.sa.s.sin skeleton.

*

Skeleton scout

Type: normal

Level: 13

Life: 5800

Damage: 800-1100

Fighting skill:

"A sense of life". Skeleton scout can detect a live opponent at an increased distance. [10/10]

"Stealth". A skeleton scout can hide from the eyes of the enemy if necessary. [10/10]

"Silent Song of the Killer". The skeleton scout is a master of the short blade. An attack with his daggers can do great damage to any enemy. This skill increases the ability to ignore the enemy"s armor and defensive skills. [10/10]

Overview: Skeletons are brutal dead warriors, they don"t want to eat meat, but they only exist to kill their victims. These scouts and a.s.sa.s.sins move faster than other skeletons. They have intellect, which helps them to use their skills successfully. These bony warriors have the same weapons with which they died. Attention! The chance of finding a valuable trophy has been increased.

Attention! This monster has not killed any players and has the usual characteristics.

*

Dan was standing still. Reading the information calmed the player down. The skeleton didn"t have much life. Dan could kill him with two strikes. But he can"t die. These creatures will quickly become stronger and faster and increase life.

Dan indicated his opponent with his finger and indicated his place at his feet. The light of the "Autodafe" activation flashed. And Dan realized that he couldn"t get past this room.

The skeleton froze for a moment. Then he turned his skull towards the Inquisitor and the skeleton"s eyes flashed red. And the scout scribbled slightly and quickly moved towards a living person...

Several skeletons immediately followed the scout towards Dan. One of the skeletons pulled the bowstring on the move.

"Hit it sideways with a wide blow! Move fast, you fool! Don"t just stand there! Kill them all!"

The scream of the sword in his head ripped the Inquisitor from his place.

Dan wasn"t thinking about anything. He took one jump to get close to the scout and hit him.

[You have dealt 2,700 points of damage]

The skeleton flew away. Dan jumped on it again to kill the undead.

[You got 120 damage points]

He didn"t feel the pain of an arrow bite, he struck.

[Critical punch! You"ve dealt 4,600 points of damage]

[Got 270 experience points]

Dan jumped back and ran towards safety.

[You got 140 points of damage]

Suddenly he felt a lot of pain in his back.

[You got 480 points of damage]

Dan wouldn"t stop and jumped into the hallway with a point of rebirth.

[You got 130 points of damage]

He sat by the wall and counted the losses. For killing one skeleton, he paid the loss of almost a quarter of his life, and the armor lost 40 points of durability.

Life was recovering. The pain was tolerable. The fatigue rate wasn"t worrying. But he realized he was trapped.

He had 580 points of general protection left. Another 20 such fights and he would be left without protection!

And then they"d start killing him.

He will revive, the skeletons will begin to grow in levels. And it will last forever and ever.

"Your foolishness will endlessly annoy me. Start by killing simple swordsmen. Then the ones with spears. They can throw a spear. It"s a dangerous enemy. But they will not tell their allies about you. They"re stupid skeletons! But you"re even dumber! Attack a scout! Get your living a.s.s off the ground and go kill your enemies."

Dan shook his head. And it"s called "Intervention in Gameplay". That"s a dirty game! It doesn"t give any references. His "Cognition of Evil" didn"t warn of this kind of scouting ability.

"I don"t know. What a G.o.ddess, this is your Game. I respect the G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses. But you must learn to think with your head."

Dan didn"t respond to the remark. Tarrok was right, don"t ruin yourself. This is a game, and he"ll learn new things. It"s a dangerous game. And he will fight.

Dan stroked p.u.s.s.y. The cat sat quietly at his feet. She didn"t know how to help her master. She was just a simple little Wood cat. She wasn"t afraid of those nasty bones with weapons in their bone hands. But her master forbade her to interfere in the fight.

Dan stood up and went towards the hall. The skeletons moved away from the entrance. When a living man crossed the border invisible to them, they lost any interest in him.

Dan checked the feature. A skeleton with a sword.

It"s a regular situation. An ordinary skeleton. A little life, a little damage. The weak opponent for a couple of sword strokes. If no dead help comes to him.

Tarrok"s a sneaky b.a.s.t.a.r.d. But he"s good for him. He wants to gain Dan"s trust. The Inquisitor understood that.

He has decided to check the words of the sword.

The fight went as usual.

Dan only took one step from the safe zone. The skeleton humbly moved on to his last fight. And Dan killed him quickly and beautifully.

[Got 240 experience points]

On the floor, at his feet was a sword. That"s a good sword. He could have put a "bleeding" effect on it. Such a sword was costing about 20 rials.

Dan took the trophy. Then he walked to the point of rebirth and put the trophy in his inventory. The sword then appeared again in the hands of the player, who put his trophy against the wall. After 24 hours, the trophy would disappear.

The game had its own sense of cleanliness. It didn"t let any garbage clog the area, even if it was quite expensive garbage.

After that, the nightmare started. Dan lost count of time. It was a death conveyor belt. But his enemies were dying. Weak opponents were dying.

The swordsmen were the weakest enemies. He killed them easily. Skeletons with a spear sometimes made it difficult. They could throw their spear at a living enemy. Dan was learning to dodge the blow! He didn"t want to lose even a few points in his defense. There was a hill of trophies growing against the wall in the safe zone. p.u.s.s.y rose to the level.

Skeletons were moving along certain courses. Dan was able to destroy all swordsmen and spearheads. So he took over the archers.

And he began to lose the durability of his defense. Archers didn"t call for help. But they started shooting at the Inquisitor as soon as they crossed the border. Dan couldn"t help but dodge the arrows. He had to run from side to side a lot! He activated "Autodafe" and immediately started running in one direction. Then he would turn around and run back. It was only after the shot was fired that he would jump on the skeleton and strike.

Reports of 100-140 points of damage caused Dan to grimace his anger. He didn"t care about his health, his spirit allowed him to regenerate quickly enough. His health never fell into the danger zone of 25% leftover, but the durability of his defense was fading point by point.

Dan"s position was disgusting. 28 a.s.sa.s.sins were standing in his way to the opposite side of the hall, to new simple opponents.

Dan had already counted the approximate number of dead in the room. He mentally divided the hall into four parts and counted the trophies. He killed 371 skeletons.

He didn"t have enough experience for the new level, but his pet was growing up in front of his eyes.

When p.u.s.s.y took level 10, she was transformed.

Before that, she had added a little more with each level but grew to the size of a regular big earth cat.

When Dan killed another enemy and quickly returned with the trophy to the point of rebirth, he froze.

A little evil fury the size of a big dog was waiting for him. p.u.s.s.y was scalding her fangs and making it clear. That she"s rushing into battle! Dan remembered the Doberman breed for a moment. Only this animal"s skin was beige with brown and green stains.

Dan walked up to the cat and looked at its status.

"Congratulations, p.u.s.s.y. But don"t hiss me. It"s too early for you to throw yourself into a fight against those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. Well, let"s see what skills our dear game will offer us."

Skills have made the pet happy with its variety and development prospects.

In this matter, the game has been gracious. Dan immediately understood how to develop his cat. There were 3 main directions of development. He could increase her protection.

The line of defense opened with a simple "Tough Skin" skill. It was just a normal increase in physical protection. Then came the ability to increase protection against magical damage. In the future, the cat could learn the "Hiss" skill and increase protection for itself and its master!

The attacking skills were divided into 2 directions. In the first case the accent was on increasing and variety of physical damage.

In the second case, the cat"s simple physical attacks were complemented by additional damage. The branch started with a simple "Bleeding", then it studied "Terrible Growling" to weaken the enemy attack. But in the end p.u.s.s.y could do damage across the square! "On the Warpath" was a skill that allowed the cat to simply stomp on the ground with its paw so all enemies could take damage.

Dan wanted to start by protecting his little nerd.

But 10 points of intelligence did their job. It wasn"t the little nerd that reacted to his plan anymore. He saw a picture of a cat jumping in the air and hitting him on the head!

"Don"t you agree? And what skill do you want yourself? I"m willing to listen to you," said Dan.

Dan didn"t expect such a clear and concise response from p.u.s.s.y. She dumped the body and waved two front paws in the air. It seemed like... That the cat was able to read about its development perspective.

It was a desire to start with an intensified physical attack.

Dan already knew how her characteristics worked. The cat"s life was made up of a total of strength, dexterity and endurance points multiplied by 100. He was happy to know that very soon she would outrun him in life. But she had no protection!

The cat"s damage depended on the amount of strength and dexterity multiplied by 10. Now her damage was three times less than the Inquisitor"s if he struck with his hand unarmed.

She wanted the skill of "Cat Claws". The skill allowed her to strike with two paws at once. On level 1 skill added 50% damage and could stun the enemy in 4%. Stunned deprived the enemy of the ability to move for 3 seconds.

Damage is not the main thing, Dan immediately understood. The ability to control the enemy could help in the most dangerous situation. 3 seconds is a lot, it"s a lot! On his side was a very powerful weapon, with this Dan was much more dangerous than other players of his level.

He took a look at the future of the cat.

"Smash" it was a skill, which allowed the cat to jump and hit with all four paws, it was already a serious punch that increased the chance of a critical punch and was a terrifying weapon of the cat.

The attacking branch would end with the creepy "Victim" skill.

It was a skill of magic attack. The cat would cause damage to any enemy that ignored any enemy defense. After the attack, the cat would die and pa.s.s the rest of her life to her master. The amount of her life plus the life of her master. The value of Endurance to its master did not matter, he received an improvement in his health without being limited by his number of Endurance.

Dan shook his head. The girl"s growing up. Who is he to argue with a cat"s desire? It might be possible to activate the defense skill on the next level. But now she"ll get her claws.

He was surprised to find that he could spend his Glory points on developing a pet skill. Dan didn"t doubt for a second and immediately brought the claw attack skill to its maximum. Damage increased by 150% and the chance to stun the enemy reached 31%. Unfortunately, the duration of the stunts has not increased. But Dan didn"t really count on such a gift.

By that time he had already engaged in archers and the game with the cat became more fun. Dan has long noticed that the dexterity of the animal is different from that of humans. He had 28 dexterity, p.u.s.s.y had 10. But he could barely catch her. She was faster.

Now, a cat could show itself in combat. Dan was calming himself with a thought. That no skeleton would kill p.u.s.s.y with one blow. Even a critical blow couldn"t kill her on the spot. He was hoping for his luck, maybe his master"s luck is spreading to his pet.

p.u.s.s.y was a dirty and cunning cat! She was attacking archery skeletons from the side. She wouldn"t let them shoot the master. Her attacks brought down skeletons with intent to shoot the Inquisitor. Sometimes the skeleton would freeze in place. In strange ways, Dan always knew when the enemy was stunned. And all he had to do was run up and hit with a sword.

It wasn"t so bad with the a.s.sa.s.sins. They didn"t have a distant attack. They were far enough away from each other, and Dan could pick up the enemy. And then he was only dealing with two enemies. The most important thing was to stay calm and meet the new enemy in time with the new "Autodafe" activation.

And so Dan could already handle two regular masters of combat. The skeletons were fast, but the cat was faster! It was running through Court s.p.a.ce like a ball of rage. It would jump on the a.s.sa.s.sin"s skeleton and instantly fly a few steps away from it. The enemy did not have time to hit her. If the a.s.sa.s.sin was stunned, Dan would end up with such an enemy quickly. But even without p.u.s.s.y"s help, he was already in good control.

He was taking damage. Skeletons would get to him sometimes.

Point by point, the durability of the defense would fall.

Dan smiled sadly and thought that everyone should have a blacksmith specialty in this game.

He was hoping. That is the next room, he"d meet opponents who wore armor! He would be able to get trophy armor and then this adventure would be a complete success.

He hoped for nothing.

In the next room, he"d have to meet liches, spiders, and vampires.

And the worst part was that when the ma.s.sive doors to the next room opened, hundreds of heads and skulls and faces turned towards Dan. The creatures in the next room were smart. Liches and vampires were not wearing armor. They were attacking with magic. And they went straight to the hall, which was cleared of skeletons by the Inquisitor.

Dan fled to the point of rebirth. p.u.s.s.y screamed and carried in front of his master.

They sat next to the wall, and Dan got two pieces of meat.

He put one piece of meat in front of the cat and started eating. Was it dinner? Breakfast or lunch? He didn"t know.

p.u.s.s.y hissed and turned her face towards the hall. Dan looked at the hall, too.

A few steps from the entrance to the hall, some vampires were watching a man with a smile.

Dan had a piece of meat stuck in his throat.
